CODY, Wyo. -Area residents seeking employment will have a variety of resources available to them Wednesday, June 9, during Community Employment Resource Day at the Park County Library.

Organized by Northwest College’s Cody Center for Training and Development (CTD), the employment resource day is scheduled from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in Grizzly Hall of the Park County Library.

Resources available that day include Experience Works, the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, King Temporary Employment Services and Northwest College’s CTD, according to NWC Training and Development Coordinator Kathy Crookshanks.

Experience Works focuses on job opportunities and/or job training for workers age 55 or older; income eligibility requirements apply. Job placement, career counseling, skills assessment testing and interview preparation are offered by the Department of Workforce Services.

Skills assessment testing as well as resume review and assistance will also be available during Community Employment Resource Day.
